NPCs React To Main Character Breaking Earth Rotation By Waiting Till Night Meme

This meme consists of two parts: top text describing a common absurd open-world video game trope, followed by an image of a bearded man looking upward with a stunned, helpless expression against a sky that is half lit by sunset/sunrise and half dark night sky. The text jokes about the perspective of non-player characters (NPCs) in video games, who are helpless to act when the player character chooses the option to instantly 'wait until night time', which illogically skips the entire passage of day and effectively breaks the in-game world's equivalent of Earth's rotation, forcing all NPCs to experience this sudden, unnatural time jump.
